Jesuit Profile of the Graduate at Graduation

As a Jesuit high school, and a member of Jesuit Schools Network, we strive to graduate students who possess the desire and the personal resources to be men for others as detailed in the  Profile of the Graduate at Graduation.

This foundational document is used by Jesuit schools across the country to outline the five characteristics they hope their graduates will embody. At De Smet Jesuit, we use this roadmap to guide our work and have customized it along the way--adding a sixth characteristic, Developing as a Leader, to more accurately reflect the experience we provide.
